remote, yet gorgeous and quiet island. What a beauty. Staff are from various Asian countries and all very nice. rebottled water is a problem for us, we had diarrhea the first night. there were no bottled waters at the island hotel, so we had to boil the water in our room to work around the water quality issue.

Great stay for 2 nights. It did give me an eye-opening experience after I've been with so many resorts/hotels. The Family Overwater Villa is perfect, especially good for snorkeling with not only all kinds of fishes but also sea turtle and small tame sharks. Also, the receptionist Ms. Chanataphy (I could only remember the first few letters correctly) was very helpful, assisting us to take care of Covid testing, sunset fishing booking, and other time-senstitive stuffs for our short stay. If anything to improve, I'd say the online communication through email and their app can be more responsive. Overall, it's worth 9.4/10 rating!

The best thing living in the water villa is that the ocean is just a staircase away. 1, 2, 3, and there is the coral reef. Whole island is surrounded by corals of different colours. The water is not so deep but just as clear as possible to let you see all the living creatures. I was lucky to meet a giant turtle twice in front of my villa. And if you are still looking for something more exciting, join the excursions! The must-joins are whale sharks, colour sea turtles and reef mantas tours. We took 1.5 hours boat trip, and I was lucky enough to see the first two, thanks to the fabulously helpful coach @Choppi and @Saafai. Special thanks to Choppi for helping my mum in swimming and getting her squeezed in to see all the animals. @Sathish makes the best cocktail, including something warm to fill my Chinese stomach. @Sojib, @Green and @Santa at the Reef Restaurant also make a family trip completely worthy.
